Counterintelligence
A provision authored by Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) was included in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, legislation reported to the full Senate for consideration last night.
Coats, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, authored a provision that would require the National Counterintelligence Executive (NCIX) to be a presidentially appointed and Senate confirmable position within one year.
“Unfortunately, it has been two years since Edward Snowden fled to Russia, and there has been no accountability for the counterintelligence and security lapses that led to the most significant breach ever of classified information,” said Coats.
